I wonder if intensity matters. What would the response be if instead of treadmill one lifted weights with high intensity.

It depends on the fitness level of the subjects. The more fit they are, the less low intensity exercise (treadmill) is effective.

Also depends on how you use it.

If slow, long jogs aren't cutting it—hit the sprints. 20 seconds on (full out), 30 seconds off (medium-light pace), or some similar interval.
